About Anke

Anke’s path to consulting and health coaching began with her personal struggles with a debilitating digestive disease in the early 1990’s, when she began to study the effects of diet, environment, exercise, and attitude on one’s overall vitality and well-being.

Now she is an athlete in top form, a certified Professional Health and Life Coach, a Peggy Cummings Certified Practitioner, AFAA certified fitness trainer, certified Nutritional Consultant, and Reiki Master Practitioner. She is devoted to helping her clients realize how productive they can be and how empowered, motivated and terrific they can feel once they take charge of their health and life.

As a lifelong rider since the age of 8, Anke understands how the challenges of horsemanship and the challenges of life interweave. Having experienced firsthand how a strong, healthy body free of tension contributes to being free of injury, elimination of chronic pain, coordination, balance, posture, carriage, and an independent seat, she is uniquely qualified to coach other riders toward their goals, in and out of the saddle. With Anke’s help, equestrians gain the self-knowledge, confidence and body awareness they need to get them closer to that perfect ride; in and out of the saddle.

Anke’s passion is helping others succeed, and she enjoys watching the joy and confidence grow from both horse and rider by using the combination of Confidence/Life/Health Coaching, Connected Groundwork and Riding®, and intuition, helping equestrians reach their goal is a natural fit for Anke Johnson’s passion, skills, and temperament. She’d rather be laughing on the trails and arena with her Morgan horse Guinness, than just about anywhere else.

Happy Clients:

I have been amazed at the growth I have accomplished through taking the "Squash Fear, Gain Confidence" coaching. When I signed up, the "Squash Fear" was the part that seemed predominant in my mind. After finishing the coaching, the "Gain Confidence" is the part that stands out the most. By obtaining the knowledge and the tools and small bits of practice each week, squashing fear is "no big deal"!!! The goals I started with were adjusted to better suit my needs, and I know that in the future I will be able to expand on them and go wherever I decide to go!

I have gotten closer to my horses with regard to relationship. They are happier as am I.

Anke brings a wealth of knowledge about health, nutrition, and exercise to each coaching partnership. She shares that information in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. She helped me concentrate on my priorities (her simple, no fail goals helped to provide focus while not being too overwhelming!). If you are looking for someone to help jumpstart your efforts (or hold you accountable along the way), I would recommend Anke.

Entrenched health habits are difficult to change, however destructive they are. Anke Johnson not only customized a supplement and exercise plan that works for me, she also motivates, teaches, and cheers me on. I’ve lost weight, I feel better, and I sleep better. The additional energy has allowed me to procure more clients, make more money, and work more efficiently.

After the workshop, there was much food for thought and options to consider. The nutrition and dietary information helped me to make better choices for my families eating habits. I had so much fun, and learned about many choices in health, supplements and dietary changes to improve our overall health and energy levels. I would loved to have spent all day with you!

Working with Anke has been great, I couldn’t ask for any more to learn. I have been able to achieve more balance in my life which helps to keep me happy. By giving myself rewards when I achieve my ridiculously small activities each week, I’m amazed at how quickly I’m moving towards my goal of learning more about nutrition, and how and what to eat.

After our coaching, I realized how important balance is for general health. This has motivated me to enforce my knowledge that I currently have, and to seek out more. I want to encourage my husband to join me in these lifestyle changes, as I know it will result in a better use of my free time, more energy, and a more balanced life overall!

Wow! Anke has a way of sharing information and keeping you excited and engaged as you learn vital information that will help you to live a longer and more fulfilling life. I learned about the importance of baby steps and rewards, and the effect of food choices in regards to organic vs inorganic. I would say that everyone should learn about what they’re eating and how to achieve their goals. I’m excited to let my friends and family know what my goals are, share the plan on how I’m going to achieve them, and to reward myself for my achievements (no matter how small)!

Anke helped me to understand more about nutrition facts and helped to map out ideas that will help me to move forward towards my own nutrition goals and overall health. You really need to want to change for yourself to be better, and Anke will help you do that. What I learned was amazing, and that nutrition is the key to everything else in your life. I have only one request; a longer time frame! I’m hungry for more!

After Anke’s 1 day workshop “Taking Care of YOU!”, I realized for the first time that you don’t have to starve yourself to be healthy. It’s like I finally got permission to eat healthy, and not to deprive myself! Learning how nutrition effects your whole body, and how to use good nutrition to move forward with your goals really helped me to take that first step to better health. It was very informative and enlightening, I’m looking forward to much, much more!

Over the 12 weeks we had together with Once and For All, I’m taking away a process to move out of stuck and overwhelmed to confidence in successful gains. My goals are now attainable and not just fading hopes. This has saved my life physically, emotionally and spiritually. My natural self is showing up again and I will always cherish her from now on out.

Congratulations on creating such a wonderful course. Once and for All had the way for me to change back to my natural self and you taught it with great knowledge, wisdom and humor. I felt fully responsible and fully supported at the same time, an inspiring combination. It was so much fun to choose health. While losing the 28 pounds and 24 inches was great, being happy with myself and taking charge of my life was greater still and will be the foundation for a future of health and happiness. Thank you so much.

Many, many gifts! I’d say the most important take-away for me is the new level of awareness I have achieved on so many levels. Awareness about decisions without judgment is just critical, and your coaching just encourages that over and over. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to understand the meaning of “ridiculously small, no fail steps” not just with my relationship to food but to many other areas of my life, as laid out very nicely with the wheel activity in the beginning. The ability to put all of this together in my mind is still a work in progress, and I have awareness of how this is all connected. There’s nothing else like it out there!
